re: Bone marrow transplant w/chemo - anyone ever done this or know anyone who has?

My father was a leukemia candidate for bone marrow transplant in the infancy of the procedure 30 years ago, had a compatible donor, but would have had to go into remission and regain sufficient health in order to do it, and did not. So I am a registered donor, and give blood and donate to related causes.

The best I can offer is to remind yourself that if other people can do it, then you can too, and that the purpose of it is to save your life and give your loved ones more time to enjoy having you with them. My grandfather had a saying that I repeat when necessary: "You gotta do what you gotta do."

If you should start a GoFundMe or similar, see if the admins will allow notice here. Otherwise, post updates when you are able.
